Back in December one of the larger libraries in our area had a sale. I went on the last day and I think we picked up around 20 books. One of those books was Shadowmancer by G.P. Taylor. What got me interested was how the back had so many glowing endorsements of the book, comparing … Continue reading Book Review: Shadowmancer by G.P. Taylor

Book Review : The Maze Runner by James Dashner
When I think about what a Young Adult novel is, The Maze Runner is one of the titles that comes to mind. I had never read it before but I had heard back then how popular it was at the time of its publication. Now that I’ve read it, I can understand why people liked … Continue reading Book Review : The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Book Review : Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
For the longest time I had heard so much about the magic of Neil Gaiman’s writing yet I had never read his work. I had first been exposed to it when I saw the movie Coraline and the marvelous oddity of it all enraptured me. When I started taking my own writing more seriously, I … Continue reading Book Review : Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Book Review : The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a book at random to dive into. The last few times I had done so had been such a treat I thought I would try again. I picked up The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell at the local library and thought this book was interesting enough just … Continue reading Book Review : The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
Book Review Delay
Hi Everyone, Unfortunately with studying advertising for my book for the Christmas season and trying to finish the final draft of book 2 of The Legend of Nariko series, I was unable to finish a book review for this week. Rather than rush through the book I'm currently reading and writing a disingenuous review, I … Continue reading Book Review Delay
Book Review : Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
Considering how much I LOVED the first book, Steelheart, I picked up Firefight without hesitation. I thought I would expect the same style of storytelling that was in the first book, more of David Charleston adorkable shenanigans. I was genuinely surprised at how different and questioning this story was but I loved it so much. … Continue reading Book Review : Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review : The Shadow’s Curse by Amy McCulloch
It seems that my fear of sequels is coming to an end. The Shadow’s Curse by Amy McCulloch was a beautifully written sequel that ended in an unexpected, yet perfect way. Character Development 9/10 This time around for the sequel, the book jumps between the perspectives of Raimanan and Wadi. The duality of their experiences … Continue reading Book Review : The Shadow’s Curse by Amy McCulloch
Book Review : The Oathbreaker’s Shadow by Amy McCulloch
I remember picking this book up back in my university days but never reading it. It joined my collection of books that started collecting dust on my shelf. But as I was writing my own story, I started to have an interest in books that dealt with other cultures outside of the North American. I … Continue reading Book Review : The Oathbreaker’s Shadow by Amy McCulloch
Book Review : The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands
This book was initially recommended to me by my wonderful partner who is writing her own middle grade novel. Now as my previous reviews as well as the book I’ve written show, I normally write and read Young Adult fantasy and science fiction novels so I wasn’t sure if I’d love this book as much … Continue reading Book Review : The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands
Book Review : Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Without a doubt I truly enjoyed reading the Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo that I decided to read the Shadow and Bone trilogy for more Grisha. I did some research and learned that this was her first book published so some things made more sense as a result. Character Development 5/10 The main … Continue reading Book Review : Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
